My biggest disappointment was the room I reserved was not available and my father and I were asked to share a room with a king bed. I said no and we got a room with 2 beds, but not on the river side which I reserved.

Pool is a health hazard! Avoid!
Absolutely stunning hotel and rooms, completely spoiled by the filthy pool area and poor attitude of the front desk manager. Verbal feedback given during the stay to ask if anyone was planning on cleaning the dirt, mold, ants and thick layer of hair covering the pool side floor, with no action taken, just deflected to “it’s not our problem, that’s housekeeping”. 4 out of the 8 uncomfortable pool loungers were also broken. Cheap plastic rubbish. Have written in feedback to the main manager since leaving with photos, but no response. Absolute health hazard. Will be reporting to health authorities. Also false advertising as the pool is most definitely not an “outdoor/indoor” pool. You will get shouted at if you dare to open the door to the terrace, which in itself is a dumping ground! What a shame as the hotel itself is stunning, our room was beautiful. If they cleaned the pool/pool side area and got polite and helpful front desk staff instead of the passive aggressive man we dealt with, what a hotel this could be!
